PMI®Hudson Classic Professional
PMI®’s Classic EZ-Bend 16-carrier construction combined with the toughest nylon on the market makes PMI ropes some of the toughest in the world. PMI®
Classic 16-carrier ropes will always beat 32, 40, and 48-carrier designs made with lesser quality nylons hands down in abrasion and real-world durability tests.
Although all diameters of PMI®Classic rope are 16-carrier sheath design, the denier (thickness) of each diameter’s sheath is different. It is carefully designed to
provide the maximum abrasion resistance, “grab” the core to minimize sheath slippage, and provide the desired hand for the intended applications.
Key Features: NFPA Certified • 16-carrier construction • CI1801 • Third party certified by UL (Underwriters Laboratories) • Torsionally balanced, continuous
filament nylon • Available in many colors • Also available in custom colors and lengths

Retiring your sling is a judgment that is the responsibility of the user and should be based largely on
results of frequent inspections, environment and use history. If you have any questions regarding
retirement of a PMI product you can contact PMI at [phone].
Regardless of history and use, a PMI® Anchor Sling should be retired if it is greater than 10 years
from the date of manufacture. The actual service life may be much less than 10 years and should
be based largely on the results of frequent inspection and use history. Material integrity and product
performance characteristics will degrade over time. PMI recommends that you thoroughly inspect
your equipment before each use and at a minimum at least once every 6 months. Specialized training
may be required to become competent with inspecting equipment and knowing when to retire your
equipment. Good judgment, as well as proper care and inspection, are key to making personal
decisions regarding the retirement of your sling.
A signicant event with the potential to change the product should prompt you to consider retiring it
immediately even if before or after only one use. Factors that may affect the safety of a sling depends
on the type and frequency of usage (light to heavy), the environment including harsh environments
with extreme temperatures, marine (salty or highly corrosive) environments, chemical contact, contact
with sharp edges, etc. Textiles can become dry and brittle, plastics can weaken in areas, small cracks
can form, etc. The best way to know when a change has occurred is to implement frequent detailed
inspections before each use.
• RETIRE IMMEDIATELY any sling where the stitching is cut, torn, excessively worn or visibly
damaged.
• RETIRE IMMEDIATELY any sling whose strength may have been compromised during use.
• RETIRE IMMEDIATELY any sling which is subjected to uncontrolled or excessive loading.
• RETIRE IMMEDIATELY any sling which is greater than 10 years old, regardless of history and
usage.
• RETIRE IMMEDIATELY any sling whose history and past usage you are uncertain about.
• RETIRE IMMEDIATELY any sling that has been exposed to heat, direct flame or excessive
abrasion.
• RETIRE IMMEDIATELY any sling that has been exposed to liquids, solids, gases, mists, or vapors
of any chemical or other material that can deteriorate the sling.
• RETIRE IMMEDIATELY any sling that does not pass inspection when following the inspection
procedures in these instructions, both before and after each use.
• RETIRE IMMEDIATELY any sling when there is any doubt about its safety or serviceability.
CUT RETIRED slings to discourage future use and discard them entirely. A retired sling should not be
stored, kept or maintained in such a way that it could inadvertently be used for life safety purposes.
• Inspect the sling upon receiving it and before and after each use to ensure proper function,
product integrity, and condition of stitching.
• Inspect by starting at one end and look at and feel every inch of the sling. Watch for signs that
might indicate possible damage such as discoloration, chemical odors, abrasion marks, cuts,
nicks and any visible differences.
• Use the RETIREMENT section statements as part of your inspection process and retire any sling
that does not pass the criteria of each bullet point.
• IF IN DOUBT, THROW IT OUT- If you are not sure about the integrity of your sling, DO NOT USE
IT. Consult PMI if you need help or have questions.
• Maintain an Equipment Log for each individual sling and review it regularly. Include information
such as date of manufacture, date placed in service, dates of use, conditions under which
equipment is used, results of inspections, document any cleanings and other information specic
to your application.
• Use and inspection of this product should only be done in accordance with the Manufacturer’s
Instructions. Inspections should only be conducted by an individual competent in all aspects and
safety considerations of life safety equipment used at height or a person that is designated as
competent by the employer to inspect this equipment.
• If a sling is dropped or impact-loaded, then remove from service immediately and have it
inspected by a competent person to determine if it should be retired.
• At a minimum, regardless of use, inspect your Anchor Sling every 6 months.
• Always inspect metal components which can be subjected to corrosion or deterioration.
• Inspect where the metal and soft goods interact to determine that there are no sharp edges or
damage to the soft goods.

Proper care and maintenance of this PMI® Anchor Sling can help maintain the safety features and
prolong the life of this product.
• Maintain this PMI® Anchor Sling in accordance with these Manufacturer’s Instructions where the
metal components are subjected to corrosion or deterioration, and do not store with dissimilar
metals.
• Do not expose the sling to ame or extreme low or high temperatures. Carry the sling where it
will be protected as it can melt or burn and fail if exposed to ame or high temperatures. Avoid
storage in a hot vehicle.
• Keep your sling clean using the cleaning guidelines found in this instruction. Dirt rubbing into and
against the bers will deteriorate it.
• Hang to air dry after washing and dry completely before storing your sling.
• Store your sling in a clean, dark, dry environment, not on a cement floor, and away from
exposure to chemicals, noxious fumes, corrosive or other harmful agents.
CLEANING YOUR PMI® ANCHOR SLING
• Washing - You can wash a sling that is dirty by hand using clean cool to warm water <30°C
(<86°F) with a mild soap. PMI recommends using PMI Rope Soap, otherwise non detergent
soaps are best. Soap used should not contain any bleaching agents.
DO NOT:
• DO NOT use top loading washing machines with agitators because they may tangle the sling and
can cause damage to the machine.
• DO NOT use a commercial dryer to dry the sling.
• DO NOT leave wet slings on a surface from which contaminants might leach (such as concrete)
for an extended period of time.
• DO NOT expose any slings to exhaust fumes.
DISINFECTING - Disinfection of a sling may occasionally become necessary, such as when
exposed to bloodborne pathogens. To disinfect a sling, PMI recommends following the NFPA standard
for cleaning rescue gear of bloodborne pathogens. Keeping in mind that undiluted household bleach is
known to damage nylon, NFPA calls for using a diluted solution of household bleach to clean rescue
gear exposed to bloodborne pathogens. Add 60 ml of household bleach per 4 liters of tap water.
That’s about one quarter (1/4) cup of household bleach per gallon of water. Be aware that some
commercial bleach solutions are stronger than the recommended 1.5% that is typical for household
bleach. Soak the gear in the diluted solution for ten minutes, then rinse thoroughly with tap water.
The rinsing cycle is critical to prevent any damage to the rope from the bleach. It is good to soak the
gear in tap water for the same amount of time it soaked in the bleach solution.
The use of bleach over a long period of time, in repeated uses, can cause damage to bers such as
nylon. Bleach should be used sparingly and then only when needed. If there is noticeable damage DO
NOT use the sling.
DRYING - Allow the sling to thoroughly dry in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight
before storing it. For best results, it should be hung up to air dry in a low humidity environment and
off of surfaces from which contaminants might leach (such as concrete).
WRITE IT DOWN - Remember to record the cleaning on the Equipment Log.
KEEP IT CLEAN - Store your sling in a clean, dark, dry environment, away from exposure to
acids, other harmful chemicals, noxious fumes or other abuse.
